Chapter 205 Tea Tasting Long Talk (two in one chapter)
"It's indeed Liu's fault for not visiting. Please forgive me, Senior Sister."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu immediately replied in a low voice, apologizing.
After receiving so much care from the Yan family, it is really unreasonable not to come to thank him, anyway, I still feel a little bit wrong.
After walking a certain distance like this, Liu Yu thought for a while, then said in a low voice:
"But I also have unavoidable difficulties."
"Liu Yu is just an ordinary aptitude of the Three Spiritual Roots. Looking at the sect, it is mediocre. If you don't focus on cultivation, will you give up the last hope of touching the Golden Core Dao?"
"Only by devoting most of your time and energy to cultivation can you hope to touch the bottleneck of the golden core in your lifetime."
"Since I am fortunate enough to be able to set foot on the road to immortality, I will never be reconciled to turning mediocre into a handful of loess in the end. I have also imagined the scenery at the height of the road to immortality."
Liu Yu's words are nine truths and one falsehood, but the last sentence is absolutely true without any falsehood.
If you are lucky enough to come to this world where longevity is no longer illusory, if you still can't appreciate the scenery at the height of the fairy road, wouldn't it be a waste of a heaven-defying opportunity?
This is also the first time, and possibly the last time, that he will express his heart and aspirations in front of others.
The pace of the two people's conversation did not stop for a moment, Yan Hongyu was not strange on the surface, but she was not so calm in her heart.
"Get rid of distracting thoughts and focus on immortality."
From Liu Yu's few words, she could feel his determination to pursue the immortal way, which moved her deeply.
There are not many monks who can possess this kind of firm Dao heart, and those who have Dao heart and talent, as long as their luck is not too bad, their achievements will generally not be too low.
From Yan Hongyu's point of view, although Liu Yu's aptitude and talent were a bit lacking, his management ability and alchemy accomplishments could largely make up for the lack of talent.
This made her more optimistic about Liu Yu's future, and she was already planning to win him over. At the same time, several thoughts emerged in her mind and gradually became clear.
Since he had already decided to win over this person, he would naturally investigate first.
Yan Hongyu had already known about the existence of Yudan Hall through investigations through family channels. How complicated could it be for a monk like Liu Yu who was born in another courtyard?
She thought she knew enough about this Junior Brother Liu, such as the speed at which Yudantang earned spirit stones, such as his alchemy attainments.
As everyone knows, what Yan Hongyu sees is only the tip of the iceberg of what Liu Yu deliberately reveals for others to see.
There was a long silence that followed, and the two remained silent all the way.
Liu Yu was half a step behind and followed Yan Hongyu towards the southeast.
This woman's cave is not far from the City Lord's Mansion, it is located at the junction of the east and south of the city, and the two of them stopped in front of a classical and exquisite courtyard after walking for less than half an hour.
This courtyard is about one-third larger than Liu Yu's. A high wall surrounds an attic, and the courtyard is luxuriant with grass.
Moreover, the carvings on the attic are also very exquisite, the surface image is commendable, it can be seen that it is carefully designed.
"Junior Brother Liu, please come in."
Yan Hongyu took out a dark token from the storage bag, hit a few formulas on it, and opened the formation of the cave, then turned her head and said to Liu Yu.
She didn't wait for an answer when she finished speaking, and walked directly into the cave.
At this time, of course Liu Yu didn't know how to ink, and followed the woman straight into the cave.
He looked around while walking, looking at the layout of this cave.
Generally speaking, the things in Yan Hongyu's cave are crude, and she has never bought some commonly used decorations in the nun's cave, but all the utensils are neatly placed without any sense of clutter.
It can be seen that this woman should not like those flashy things, and the neatness of the utensils also shows that she is very self-disciplined.
Analyzing in his mind, Liu Yu followed Yan Hongyu into the attic, stopped in the lobby on the first floor, and sat down at one end of a wooden table under the woman's greeting.
"Junior Brother Liu, please enjoy my Hongwuling tea."
"This tea is extremely rare and expensive. Often more than 200 pieces of spirit stones can buy half a catty of it, and there is no market for it. I also relied on my family relationship to finally get this half catty of spirit tea."
"Usually I don't want to take it out at all, and I only make a pot occasionally when there are happy events. Junior brother Liu is lucky this time."
After Yan Hongyu sat down, she waved her sleeves, and a red wooden jar appeared on the table. She pointed to the red wooden jar and said.
"Really, this tea can be praised so much by senior sister, and I am looking forward to it."
Liu Yu doesn't pay much attention to the desire of tongue, unless it is a spiritual tea with special effects such as Qinghe spirit tea.
Naturally, he would not spoil the fun by saying it at this time. Instead, he acted as if he was interested in this "Red Mist Spirit Tea" and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Yan Hongyu didn't talk nonsense, and took out a three-inch cyan jade bottle from the storage bag, which should be a magic weapon for storage.
She held the jade bottle with one hand and poured it down, a thin stream of water slanted out from the mouth of the bottle, and at the same time she drew it with the other hand, the stream stopped flowing downwards.
Instead, it violated the gravity of the earth, turned a corner and floated in front of the woman, forming a water polo that grew bigger and bigger, and finally formed a crystal clear water polo with a length, width and height of one foot.
The whole body of the water polo is light blue, and in the spiritual sense of the foundation-building cultivator, there is a faint wave of spiritual energy, which is obviously the water of the spiritual spring, and the grade is at least above the middle grade.
Liu Yu made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't make a fuss.
After all, the water of the spiritual spring is not rare, as long as there are spiritual stones, it is still easy to buy.
Yan Hongyu's movements over there did not stop at all, and she put away the blue jade bottle after the spirit spring was almost poured out.
"puff"
Then she spread her right hand under the water polo, and an orange flame emerged from the palm of her hand and began to heat the spiritual spring.
This flame is exactly the true foundation-building fire unique to the foundation-building monks!
"Zizzi."
It is natural to heat the Lingquan with the real foundation building fire, but the Lingquan has already boiled in a short time.
Yan Hongyu was born in a big family, so the education she received was naturally excellent.
The technique of making tea is not only extremely skillful, but also every move is pleasing to the eye, with a different kind of beauty, she is the most beautiful woman Liu Yu has seen making tea so far.
Her jade hands kept moving, and she carried out the steps step by step in an orderly manner. In about half an hour, a pot of spiritual tea was freshly made.
"Please."
Yan Hongyu personally poured Liu Yu a cup of spirit tea and pushed it over.
The spirit tea was steaming hot, and wisps of mist rose up, and a unique fragrance began to permeate the room, which made people feel refreshed and appetite.
"Thank you, Sister."
Liu Yu thanked politely, held the teacup in both hands, shook his head slightly and took a breath, and when it cooled down a little, he took a sip.
The warm tea flowed into the stomach along the throat, and immediately turned into a ball of pure spiritual energy and spread out.
This aura was slightly scorching hot, but it was very docile, and Liu Yu could easily refine it with a slight turn of his mana.
The tea has already stimulated the taste buds after passing through the tongue. After a slight bitterness, it is as sweet as sucrose. The first bitterness and then the sweetness are clearly contrasted, which makes people have a deep memory and a long aftertaste.
After the bitterness and sweetness pass, there will be a burst of emptiness and calmness in the mind, just like the state of a saint after emitting essence, all distracting thoughts will disappear. This state is very conducive to cultivation.
"Good tea, good tea!"
Liu Yu nodded slightly and praised loudly.
In terms of efficacy, this Hongwu spirit tea is naturally far inferior to Qinghe spirit tea, which can increase spiritual consciousness.
The aura contained in spirit tea is huge for Qi refining monks, but it is just a drop in the bucket for foundation building monks like them, even if they drink it a lot, it is not as effective as taking pills.
But in terms of taste, there is no doubt that this spirit tea is much better than Qinghe spirit tea.
"If junior brother likes it, you might as well drink a few more glasses, don't be polite."
Yan Hongyu obviously benefited from these compliments, and said with a smile.
Liu Yu naturally should be.
As for business matters, since Yan Hongyu is not in a hurry to speak, then he is not in a hurry to ask.
Then the two chatted about some interesting things about the sect, and time passed slowly like this.
"I once reminded the younger brother not to associate with Qu'er, younger brother, do you still remember?"
Suddenly, Yan Hongyu put down her teacup and said seriously.
Liu Yu couldn't figure out why this woman brought up the past, so she nodded slightly without saying a word.
"Qun'er is the one with the best spiritual root qualifications among the younger generation in my lineage. The family has high hopes for her, and the senior sister has also put a lot of effort into cultivating her."
"The limit lifespan of a monk in the Qi refining period is only 20 years. If you don't practice hard, you will be completely hopeless if you don't build a foundation when you are 60 years old."
"At that time, Qu'er's cultivation was still low, and her father and I were worried that she would delay her cultivation because of the love affair between men and women."
"In addition, the spiritual root aptitudes of the two of you are also very different, so the communication between the two of you is prevented."
"Junior brother Liu, you are firm and mature, you can understand the good intentions of me and Qu'er's father, right?"
Yan Hongyu looked at Liu Yu, and said slowly with her red lips parted.
At that time, I was just an ordinary outer disciple, while Yan Qun'er was the daughter of the Jindan family. There was not only a difference in status and strength between the two, but also a great difference in spiritual root aptitude.
With Yan Qun'er's talent and the family's help, the establishment of the foundation can be said to be sure.
But she is an ordinary three-spiritual root, with no talent, no background, and little hope of building a foundation. For the sake of Yan Qun'er's path, it is normal for Yan Hongyu to prevent the two from meeting each other.
It's one thing to understand, but another to not mind.
Liu Yu didn't have that kind of thought about Yan Qun'er, but when he encountered this kind of thing in person, how could he not feel a little grudge in his heart?
For a while, he just drank his tea in silence without making a sound.
It wasn't until a while later that he slowly said:
"Senior Sister said all this can be understood by me, so I don't need to mention it again in the past. I didn't take it to heart."
Seeing this, Yan Hongyu finally revealed a smile, and said with a flash of eyes:
"At this time and at that time, since the younger brother and Qun'er have already established their foundations, then naturally his father and I will not stop him."
"If Junior Brother Liu is interested, I can arrange for you to have more contact with Qu'er."
"If the two of you can combine, you will become a pair of gods and Taoists who will envy others!"
"How about it, junior brother, what do you think?"
If the family wants to grow stronger and have more voice in the sect, it not only needs to be strong itself, but also needs appropriate allies.
Although Liu Yu's current strength is still a little weaker, in Yan Hongyu's eyes, he undoubtedly has great potential and is a potential ally.
Moreover, he has good alchemy attainments, and it is not a bad treatment for Qu'er to combine with him, at least there will be no shortage of training resources in the future.
Marriage is very beneficial and can expand the influence of the family in the future.
Of course, it would be the best if Junior Brother Liu can be persuaded to join Yan's family.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior sister, I can only appreciate it."
"It's just that Liu is determined to pursue the Golden Core Dao, and he has no intention of dual cultivation before the Golden Core is completed. Please don't be offended, senior sister."
"Everything is just as it should be."
Liu Yu looked directly at Yan Hongyu, and politely but firmly refused the matter.
He has the Immortal Mansion in his body, and he has too many secrets to carry, and if it is leaked a little, he may be wiped out.
It is destined to be impossible to get too close to others, otherwise the secret is likely to be discovered.
Especially things like Taoist companions, who come into contact with each other very frequently, making it impossible for him to form Taoist companions with others.
Maintaining this level of relationship with Jiang Qiushui is already the limit that Liu Yu can accept. A Taoist companion of the same realm is an unexpected factor that is difficult to control.
People's hearts will change, and Liu Yu will never give others a chance to betray him.
Yan Hongyu was not disappointed or annoyed when she heard the words. Ever since she felt Liu Yu's firm Taoism, she knew that the possibility of binding him with love between men and women was unlikely, which was expected.
Immortal cultivators pursue their own eternity, and do not value reproduction and the relationship between men and women as much as ordinary people do. Especially those who have not given up on pursuing the immortal way, they regard it as dispensable or even a drag.
"Okay, Junior Brother Liu, I'm sure I saw you right."
Yan Hongyu took a sip from the teacup, put it on the table and praised.
If Liu Yu agrees straight away, although she would be happy to make things happen for the two of them, she would despise him even more in her heart.
However, "wealthy couple law ground" in the world of cultivating immortals, "couple" does not only refer to Taoist couples.
The corner of Yan Hongyu's mouth smiled slightly, and the face she held was more charming. She no longer entangled in the relationship between Yan Qun'er and Liu Yu, and asked instead:
"Junior brother Liu has built the foundation for more than ten years, right?"
"Has there ever been a Jindan elder in the sect who valued him and intended to accept him as a sect?"
Hearing this, Liu Yu's pupils shrank and his thoughts changed sharply, and he already had a vague guess, could it be that this woman is going to...?
Thinking of this, he replied without changing his face:
"Liu's foundation has been established for 14 years, and he has never been favored by any elder."
Liu Yu paused, then asked again:
"Why did Senior Sister ask this question? Could it be that Senior Sister is thinking?"
I am clear inside the door, most of the situation is easy to investigate, and there is no need to hide it, but fortunately I said it directly.
Originally, the disciples from Yuanyang Bieyuan, if they had good talent, would be summoned by Elder Jindan after they succeeded in establishing the foundation, and they would give them some advice.
If the elder is pleasing to the eye, he will be more satisfied, and it is not impossible to directly accept him as a direct disciple.
From then on, he has a backer in the sect, which is no worse than disciples from most families.
But "good talent" refers to talents above two spiritual roots, and disciples like Liu Yu who have ordinary three spiritual roots and no special spiritual bodies are naturally not included.
Therefore, it has been 14 years since the foundation was established, but he has not been summoned by the Elder Jin Dan of the other school, nor has he enjoyed the help of the other school in the sect.
